Dear Reader,

Have you heard of the saying "picture perfect'? Well this saying could be interpreted in many ways. One might see perfect as a calm and quiet setting, while another may see perfect as the loudness of the city. Everyone's "perfect" is different. So does that mean nothing is "perfect"? As you read the following, the reader will travel through the history of photography and find many other interesting facts. The way I have chosen to present these facts are as followed: A narrative (or story), a list, which is followed by a second list, and advertisement, a "Dear Diary" entry and lastly, a poem. I have included a bibliography with the citations of the five sources I used.

I have always loved photography and I hope you enjoy my project about photography as much as I enjoyed completing it.
